Also, if anyone is interested, I'll be fielding offers for both of these picks as a package. Looking for help at RB and TE especially. Interested in either the rights to previously drafted players or young pros on your roster.

I'll leave this open for a couple of hours before making my picks._________________

Also, we should have more discussion in here. The more talking we do the more frequently will check here/make picks.

Alright. What are peoples' opinions of the draft so far? Personally, I'm happy with the guys I've ended up with, given where I'm picking. I knew I wouldn't have a shot at Luck, Griffin, Richardson, Martin, or Blackmon. After that, I was targeting Floyd, Wright, Jeffery, or Fleener, but also was toying with the idea of taking Tannehill if he was still there.

Once it was my pick, it was a really tough choice. I knew I wanted one WR, but then wasn't sure if I wanted to double on on WRs, or take Fleener. OR, since I second guess, third guess, etc. myself over and over before making a decision, I thought about taking Pead, since I could use RB help. Went with Fleener, since I see him as a guy who can make an impact from the start, and really improve as a player as Luck improves (bonus for their previous comfort level together). Not to mention TE was a greater area of need.

As for my third pick, I was hoping Jeffery or Pead would fall, but knew they wouldn't. Hill was the last guy on my list of who I was targeting, but I had enough on the list that I knew I'd get at least one. There's definitely a lot to doubt about Hill, given the Jets's bottom-barrel offensive situation (ugh), but you can't deny the guy has ridiculous potential. Not to mention, since there isn't a plethora of talented pass-catching talent, Hill could develop into a huge part of that offense.

As for other drafts I particularly like or don't like?

Of course Sandybaby had an easy choice at the top of the draft, but I also like the pick of Gordon when the draft finally got back around to him. There are definitely question marks there, but it's also a ton of potential to find at that point in the draft.

I bet Mendeleev was more than happy about Richardson surprisingly falling into his lap, and I like the Jeffery pick in the 2nd.

I question DolphWins's selection of David Wilson in the 1st, and Chris Rainey in the 3rd, given the talent available at those selections, but I don't mind Hillman in the 2nd.

Thank u RS! Would have thought long and hard about taking Toon at my pick. Took him in my other dynasty league so really didn't want to double up on him but love his situation in NO. Glad RS took the decision out of my hands._________________

For my own, I felt the first pick was obvious. Pretty much every player I wanted at 20 and 21 was gone, such as Miller, Jeffrey, Hill going the three spots before. Gordon was the first guy on the next tier for me, and since my team likely won't be a huge championship contender this season, I'm happy to wait for him to develop. Tamme and Sanu were my guys for the other pick. Ultimately, I feel like Tamme will be good for those two or three seasons with Peyton, and my TE position was in dire need for a guy to start.

Don't wait to be too critical or praisey of anyone's draft, but I am impressed that my top 13 ranked players were all taken by my second pick. Out of 18 picks that isn't bad. I think Deadeye may have had the pick of the draft so far in Lamar Miller in round two. He was the one I wanted to fall to me the most._________________

I was very happy to have the top WR fall into my lap at pick 8 in Justin Blackmon. Loved getting him. Just strengthened my WR corp that is already pretty stacked with Megatron and Mike Wallace as my top 2.

Mohamed Sanu pick was a pretty easy one as well for me. Felt there were a handful of players that went before him that I wouldn't have chosen. Like the Sanu pick very much. He has a wide open door to playing time next to a guy that will make his life a ton easier in AJ Green._________________
